145. Underground Fortress
"It's ...... The tomb of a foreigner? β
After passing through the hole, Ah Cheng swept around the neighborhood with a flashlight, and then saw a string of strange characters on the wall not far away, which looked a bit like English, but not quite the same.
Crucially, the wall on which the characters are written and the nearby ground are made of cement.
"The foreigner's tomb is really advanced,......" Ah Cheng stepped forward, stomped on the cement floor under his feet, and sighed: "There is cement so early." β
Luo Zihang rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then explained, "What do you want?" This is not a foreigner's tomb, this is an underground military fortress of a woolly bear, whose tomb will have an arrow on the inscription? β
"Hairy bear?" Ah Cheng was reminded by him, and then carefully looked at the letters on the wall, as well as the arrow pointing forward behind the letters, and then suddenly said: "It seems to be really Russian!" But ......"
He turned his head to look at Luo Zihang and asked puzzledly, "Brother Jie, how do you know that this is the military fortress of Mao Xiong?" Can't it be another facility? Like a shelter or something? β
"Because I know a little bit of Russian." Luo Zihang swept the words on the wall with a flashlight and translated: "This passage can probably be translated as 'the underground warehouse of the war fortress against Mongolia'...... It was probably built decades ago during the conflict between Mao Xiong and Outer Mongolia. β
In fact, Luo Zihang doesn't know much about the history of this world, but that's what he wrote, and that's what he said.
As they spoke, they walked in the direction indicated by the arrow, and soon came to a large iron door, which was very heavy and thick, and opened a slit about three fists wide, and they could squeeze into it with only a slight side.
Since they have found this place, there is naturally no reason not to go in, and the two squeezed in along the crack in the door, and found that this warehouse is really not small, and all kinds of materials are neatly stacked together......
It's a pity that they are all clothes, bedding and other daily necessities that they don't need at the moment, and there are also a few boxes of canned food and compressed biscuits, but after so much time, Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng don't have the slightest desire to taste them.
Luo Zihang, who knew what was going to happen, originally wanted to get two futons directly from here, but considering that it was really difficult to explain, he just took a hexagonal wrench from this pile of materials.
"Brother Jie, why don't we go back?"
Ah Cheng didn't care about Luo Zihang's behavior, he looked at the materials stacked in front of him, and then used a flashlight to shine a flashlight on the emergency light above his head that had not yet been energized, and suddenly said: "The scene here always gives me a bad association......
I don't blame him for being worried, after all, this scene is too similar to the situation he encountered when he was at the tomb of the goddess.
Luo Zihang pouted, he wanted to leave too, the problem was that they had been targeted by those two ghost dolls, and most of them were not so easy to leave......
No, just as he was about to answer Ah Cheng, a little boy's head suddenly poked out of the passage in front of him, and his appearance was quite cute, but his face was abnormally white, which was particularly conspicuous in this dim warehouse.
After the little boy poked his head out and glanced at them, he immediately shrank back, looking frightened by Luo Zihang and them......
How so......
Sure enough, he is still a child, and his acting skills are so blunt.
Luo Zihang complained in his heart, and shouted ahead: "Don't run yet!" β
"Brother Jie, who are you talking to?!" Ah Cheng looked back at the dark passage behind him, clutched the mace in his hand, and asked in disbelief.
"A little boy who just poked his head out and disappeared." Luo Zihang told the truth, and his expression was fixed.
"Little boy? Over here? Ah Cheng rubbed his arms and barely squeezed out a smile, "Brother Jie, are you joking with me?" How could there be a little boy in this place? β
"Well, I don't look like a normal human." Luo Zihang continued to reply steadily.
Probably because Luo Zihang was too calm, so Ah Cheng really mistakenly thought he was joking, he slapped Luo Zihang angrily, and scolded with a smile: "You scared me to death, I thought there was really something unclean!" β
Luo Zihang didn't speak, and pointed to the passage behind him again.
Ah Cheng sneered: "Ha! You're still trying to lie to me. As he spoke, he followed Luo Zihang's finger and looked back again......
Then he saw a little white face......
This time it was a little girl with pigtails.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ What the hellββ!
οΌ β
"Don't scream," Luo Zihang plucked his ears with his little thumb and said disgustedly: "It's just two children, we weren't afraid of facing so many undead legions back then." β
That is, knowing the plot in advance, Luo Zihang can be so sure, if he encounters these two ghost dolls without knowing it, he may scream even more tragically than Ah Cheng.
And Ah Cheng was also calmed down by Luo Zihang's words, but at this time, the little girl had already retracted her head.
Luo Zihang patted Ah Cheng on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's see what they want to do?" β
"What if there's any danger?" Although he was not so scared anymore, Ah Cheng still didn't want to deal with such strange things.
"If they really want to hurt people, there is no need to lure us here in this way, they can attack us directly in the tomb or when we break through the walls...... They may be trying to take us somewhere. β
Luo Zihang's explanation sounded reasonable, but it was because he already knew the answer, otherwise he would not have been able to take this risk.
But Ah Cheng didn't think about it so much, he was used to obeying Luo Zihang's command, and this explanation seemed to make a little sense, so he didn't hesitate to follow Luo Zihang inside.
The two of them walked out of the warehouse, and through a tunnel that was not very long, they came to a small room, which had no furnishings, except for a flat map of the fortress hanging on the wall.
Luo Zihang took the map off the wall, and then while comparing it on the map, he explained to Ah Cheng: "We should be in this place now, and then here is the arsenal, and here is the power station...... Let's go to the arsenal to see if we have any equipment that we can use for self-defense, and then we go to the power station to see if we can get the place electrified. β
Seeing that he was explaining to Ah Cheng, in fact, these words were for the two imps, because in the original book, in order to let them get to the location of their corpses quickly, they directly pushed Zhou Shijie into the habitat of vampire bats.
"Actually, I think it's good that we just go out from here......" Ah Cheng said, pointing to the obvious exit.
Luo Zihang glanced at him and reminded: "You haven't thought about it, if we just leave like this, will we be entangled by those two dolls?" β
Ah Cheng's expression froze for a moment, then he scratched his head with a smile and said, "Then it's better to listen to Brother Jie." β
According to the marks on the map, the two of them first came to the weapons storehouse, which contained two huge iron shelves, and on the shelves were many wooden boxes containing firearms.
There are many types of firearms in the box, pistols, rifles, and submachine guns, and they are all new guns that have not been opened, but Luo Zihang is not familiar with the model of the firearm and can't name it.
Unfortunately, they pried open all the boxes and couldn't find a blasting weapon like a grenade.
Considering that he was going to fight with a group of vampire bats, Luo Zihang didn't go to get a rifle, but directly took a submachine gun, and after thinking about it, he took two more pistols and stuck them in his waist, and he didn't throw away the copper hammer he had held before, and temporarily stuffed it into his backpack.
Ah Cheng did the same, and it was also a charge and two pistols, but his mace was not easy to stuff, so he simply threw it away.
Of course, they also loaded the bullets beforehand, and they also brought a few more clips on their bodies.
Luo Zihang has "shooting" skills, and when Ah Cheng was in Kunlun Mountain, he also played with him for a few days...... Although the quasi-head may be almost.
After being fully armed, the two of them continued to move forward and came to the power station, where the generator was obviously more advanced than the one in the Tomb of the Goddess, and the one in the Tomb of the Goddess could be activated, so this one was naturally no longer a problem.
As the generator was turned on again by Luo Zihang and them, the emergency lights above the fortress were all lit up.
If you want to say that the military fortress is different, not only are the lights here more than those in the Tomb of the Goddess, but also bright enough, after the electricity, the originally dim fortress suddenly brightens as day.
Luo Zihang looked around, and soon saw two children in gorgeous ancient costumes scurrying in front of him and running towards the passage where he came.
"Brother Jie, it looks like your guess should be right." Ah Cheng also saw the figures of the two children, and he said convincingly.
Luo Zihang shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be forced: "It's just a simple reasoning, let's follow, you should be careful, since they waited for us to get the weapon before they appeared, maybe they will encounter danger later." β
Hearing his analysis, Ah Cheng's expression immediately became serious, and he subconsciously clenched the submachine gun in his hand.
β¦β¦
Led by the two imps, Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng walked around the fortress in all directions for a long time, and then came to an area that was not marked on the map.
And, in front of them, there was a faint noise, which sounded like the fluttering of wings.
Luo Zihang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
In the original book, the protagonist did not turn on the generator, so when they broke into the bat nest, those vampire bats were still hanging on the ceiling to rest, but as Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng turned on the power system inside the fortress, the emergency lights here were all lit, which naturally alarmed the group of bats.
Many people think that bats are used to hiding in dark places, and using ultrasound positioning, their eyesight must be very poor, but in fact, bats with poor eyesight are only part of the species in the entire bat population, and there are many bats whose eyesight is actually very good.
Moreover, even bats with poor eyesight are highly sensitive to light and darkness.
There is another reason...... Those emergency lights on the ceiling, burning your feet.
"Be careful, there's movement ahead."
Luo Zihang reminded Ah Cheng again, and then took the submachine gun he was carrying in his hand.
And the gun in Ah Cheng's hand never let go at the beginning of the fight.
The two continued to move forward, and after a while, they saw a few huge bats with hideous faces flying out of the passage in front of them, and they pounced on Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng at the first time.
Luo Zihang did not use the submachine gun in his hand, but quickly pulled out the pistol on his waist and lit off the bats.
Ah Cheng also knew that his accuracy was not good, so he did not shoot recklessly.
It's just that the gunfire just now seemed to alarm the bat group inside, and after a while, a large group of large bats of the same kind flew out of the passage in front of them.
"Da Da Da ......"
Ah Cheng couldn't keep his composure anymore, so he pulled the trigger and shot at the group of bats.
With enough bats and enough bullets, even if Ah Cheng's head is almost accurate, he doesn't have to worry about missing at all, plus those bats are flying out of the passage, he only needs to aim at a small area.
But Luo Zihang didn't rush to shoot, after he finished shooting the bullet in a pistol, he grabbed the submachine gun and stood beside Ah Cheng, until his submachine gun finished firing, then he raised the gun and fired.
Ah Cheng naturally understood what Luo Zihang meant, so after he changed the magazine, he also did not rush to shoot, but waited for the relay.
Under the rotation of the two of them, the bats could not fly in front of the two of them at all, and they were swept down with a crackle.
Luo Zihang's third magazine has not been finished yet, and there are no more bats flying out of the passage, which is obviously a lot less than the number of medium, it seems that because of the light, many bats have been driven away before.
After dealing with these bats, Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng continued to move forward and walked into the passage where those bats flew out.
The passage was quite long, and they occasionally encountered a few bats on the way, but they were all knocked out by Luo Zihang with a pistol.
When they were about to walk out of the passage, there was a mixed smell of fishy and rancid smell, but at this time, at the exit, the figure of the two little ghosts reappeared, so that Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng had to continue to move forward against this smell.
At the other end of the passage, there is a huge stone chamber that is half natural and half artificial, full of green moss, and the ground is bat droppings and animal remains.
Knocking out the last few bats with a pistol, the two imps reappeared, and then trotted into the wall next to them in front of Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng.
"Looks like that's it."
Luo Zihang stepped forward and scraped the moss off the wall with the butt of his gun, revealing the iron door behind him, and it was an airtight door, which required corresponding tools to open.
Fortunately, he knew that there was such a thing at the beginning, and the hex wrench he had taken in the warehouse before came in handy at this time.
"Luckily, I took a handful in case I needed it before, and I can use it now."
Luo Zihang took out the hex wrench from his bag, and at the same time pretended to explain.
Ah Cheng didn't doubt it, but gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Jie, you are really calculating." β
"Modestly" waved his hand at Ah Cheng, Luo Zihang picked up the hexagonal wrench, and it took a lot of effort to unscrew the gas valve switch on the airtight door.
With a "bang", the airtight door was filled with air, and the heavy iron door opened in response, and behind the iron door, what caught the eyes of Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng were more than a dozen coffins.
These coffins are stacked in the secret room, the coffins are old and old, some have rotted, some are large and small, the craft styles are different, and there is even a large sarcophagus, the most luxurious of which are two large coffins of golden silk nanmu, and there are countless pottery pieces and porcelain pieces scattered on the ground.
Luo Zihang, who knew that the main owner was in the sarcophagus, didn't pay attention to the other coffins, and after waiting for the air to circulate outside for a while, he walked straight to the sarcophagus.
